| Chinese Internet users executed
HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION Amnesty International issued a warning today on its Web site that Internet users in mainland China could be killed by the State for expressing their opinion online.
Thirty three people were named as "prisoners of conscience" today, for apparently doing little more than expressing their opinions online.
Two "subversives" have already died in custody, it claimed.
And the statement, which it released today, also warns that overseas companies were colluding in a crack down we first reported last August.
Two people have already died in custody, the report said. AI says that anyone surfing the Internet in China could be at risk of "arbitrary detention and imprisonment". Link Full Story |

Yeah...let's attack Iraq and threaten North Korea when these untolerable acts against humanity are happening in a country that we trade with. These are the people we should be giving warnings to. | |

Well to put things in perspective, they don't have teenagers running their schools shooting everyone...among other things..
IMO all politics have a good and bad side to them....

No, they just get gunned down and run over by tanks for expressing their beliefs that all people are entitled to. | |

Yet we make them a "favored trade" nation.
And let them steal our secrets again and again.
